PHONES: NEW ORLEANS C50C) 523-B3Sd ? SLIPELL CSOfl) 6<43-3144 P.O. BOX 10B9, SLIDELL, LOUISIANA The Hampton Roads Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, recently held their third meeting of the sea-son at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Va. It was one of the finest meetings of the year which included a briefing on the shipyard's computerized manage-ment system and an on-board re-view of the overhaul highlights of the aircraft carrier USS F.D. Roosevelt. The paper given at the meeting covered "Reliability and Maintain-ability Analysis of Shipboard Sys-tems" and was written by Roy L. Harrington, John W. Coats and Fred E. Farley of the Assurance Engineering Group, Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. The paper emphasizes the reliability and maintainability of shipboard systems and equip-ment and presents a definition of the terms and specifications for a uniform understanding by the manufacturers of marine equip-ment. Numerous manufacturers' repre-sentatives commented on the paper and indicated that it was very in-formative and indeed presented the needed definition. The paper was very timely in that it was brought on the scene at a time when the aircraft carrier Nimitz, CVA(N)68, is building and the R & M specifications pertain thereto. Many items of equipment for the ship are in the production stage and some only in the design stage and the guide lines set forth in this paper should allow equip-ment to be produced which more nearly meets the specifications. Re-jection of design and the necessity for modifications should be mini-mized. The next meeting of the Section will be held on April 23, 1969 at the Mariners Museum in Newport News, Va. This will be the final meeting of the year and will pre-sent a program featuring a talk and movie by John Biddle covering the sailing races and regattas of recent years. 14 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
